Why Multi-Tasking Does Not Work

Multi-tasking doesn’t work! Now before all you multi-taskers and Super-Mom’s stop reading, I want you to think about this.

We’ve been taught that to be effective we need to multi-task, to be able to manage multiple deadlines and projects, take care of many things at once and juggle several balls in the air and maintain balance and a happy life. Talk about a losing battle!

How many Multi-Taskers do you know who live in a calm, relaxed state emotionally and physically?
Not many I’d say.

It’s impossible for your mind to focus on more than one thing at a time.
One of the biggest problems we have, is a weakness of attention. Although you may feel like you are effective because you are juggling many things, the truth is you are inhibiting your effectiveness because you are trying to focus on more than one thing at a time.
